Equus quagga burchellii (Burchell’s Zebra)

[another specialist]

The type localities of the subspecies Equus quagga burchellii and Equus quagga antiquorum (Damara zebra) are so close to each other that the two are in fact one, and that therefore the older of the two names should take precedence over the younger. They therefore say that the correct name for the southernmost subspecies must be "burchellii" not "antiquorum". (Groves and Bell, 2004)

Groves and Bell (2004) revised the subspecies of Equus quagga. They conclude that "the extinct true Burchell's zebra" is a phantom. The subspecies Equus quagga burchellii still exists in Kwazulu-Natal and in Etosha: it is the geographically intervening population that is extinct, not a distinct subspecies as such.

You're wrong.
This subspecies of zebra still survives in zoos.

Equus burchellii antiquorum and Equus quagga burchellii already constitute the only subspecies Equus quagga burchellii.

I posted a reference that mentions the trinomial Equus quagga burchelli...
